No extra baseplate was needed. I just bolted the box directly to the frame. There’s enough height clearance for the drawers to come out even with just 1/2” plywood.
I have a 2005 Lexus GX470 and I’m ideally looking for a trade for a 1st Gen Tundra 4x4, long bed.
I love this rig and it’s treated me amazingly well. Took me forever to find a black one with gray interior (why do all the black ones have a tan interior?!) that was also taken really could care...
Yup I wrote out instructions here and labeled the wires. Not sure exactly about wattage though.

I did draw up some blueprints but I don’t know what I did with them, and honestly I ended up slightly adjusting things as I went. In the 4th or 5th post on this thread though I believe I said a lot of the final dimensions.
Thanks! It’s for sure well over 6’3” with the seats pushed forward. I leave my driver seat all the way back with the bed platform setup and my total platform length is 6’ 1/2”. In addition, I could’ve made my drawer box longer by 1-2” as well but I left room for my fold down table on the rear door.
I mean I tried it… didn’t notice a difference in the output. The Gx has projector lights not reflector so there really shouldn’t be a decrease. BX Built sells custom lights doing the same method I’m pretty sure.
I haven’t noticed any issues at all, though in reality the majority of the times I’m only opening the drawers about 50% or less. The only time I really notice any friction there is if I’m opening the drawers really far open and then it can be countered by slightly lifting the drawer as you pull...
Here’s a photo of where I put them. I then used a countersink drill bit and screwed them down so the screws didn’t stick above the plastic surface. Glue won’t work on it. I got a sheet from a local plastic supplier and then cut it into strips.
